Day 4–God’s Amazing Promise

Scripture reading for January 22: John 14:13-14 “Whatever you ask in My Name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My Name, I will do it.”

God’s emergency response communication network is built on personal relationships. God reaches out to each person inviting them into a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus builds a friendship with each person and knows all about them and their strengths, gifts and weaknesses. He invites each person to get to know Him and to become comfortable asking for information or direction and walking by faith with Him. Jesus prepares those who walk with Him to become disciples and then sends them out to respond to those who are hurting or in need.

Out of our relationship with Jesus, He invites and encourages each person to ask the Father in His Name for whatever they have need of. As men and women have called upon the Lord and walked with the Lord for thousands of years, Jesus calls His followers to do the same. His Name represents all that He is as King of kings and Lord of lords. It gives access to His power and knowledge and insight. This promise reveals God’s desire to show us love in meeting our needs, regardless of cost. It promises continuous access to God and His emergency call-in system.

We already know how important relationships are in the function of fast and effective response to incidents. We can see how we can draw on other resources not provided through our job but through our relationship with Jesus. Wise first responders maintain healthy relationships in the departments we serve in and with our Lord through daily prayer and devotions.

Prayer: Father God, thank You for providing a simple plan of communications that provides access to whatever we need through asking You in Jesus’ Name. Help me to remember this communication promise and humbly ask You for the help needed as I do the best I can with what You gave me. Amen.
